The Texas Rangers have reached an agreement with free agent closer Joe Nathan on a two-year contract.
Nathan's signing will allow the Rangers to move hard-throwing righty Neftali Feliz into the starting rotation. Terms of the deal were not yet known.
Nathan, a former All-Star, missed the entire 2010 campaign after having Tommy John surgery. He finished with 14 saves last season with the Minnesota Twins.
Feliz became the club's closer in 2010 on the way to winning Rookie of the Year honors with 40 saves. He recorded 32 saves this past season.
